“So, you know how I told you about the mercenaries that are going to be staying nearby?”
“You told us a million times. It’s not like we’re going to turn around and change our minds right now.”
“Oh right sorry, I was just thinking that they’re so different. They have so much diversity. It would be nice to get to know them.”
The six of them were on their way to the fortress since Twilight had the best idea of getting them to meet each other early on so it wouldn’t be awkward. Not to mention that Pinkie Pie would’ve really insisted on coming anyway. They went around to the back door and knocked on it. The door opened revealing Engineer.
“Twilight. You’re finally here. And you brought the rest. Although that was kind of the point.”
He led them inside and into the courtyard. “Now, I thought standing together and introducing ourselves would be boring. But, that’s kind of inevitable because you might not talk to everyone here. So after you know each other’s name’s you can go off and do your thing.”
The fifteen of them all gathered in the courtyard. Spike wasn’t present, being present before, he didn’t want to overfill the fortress. Well it was a big fortress, but you get the point.
“It’s nice to be here, I’m Twilight Sparkle. But you can simply call me Twilight,” Twilight introduced herself.
“I’m Rainbow Dash. The coolest and fastest pony in Equestria. I guarantee I’m twenty percent cooler than all of you too.”
Scouts gaze layed over Rainbow Dash. Guaranteed? I’d like to face that.
Fluttershy took a couple of deep breaths before quickly blurting out. “I’m FlutterShy.”
“AppleJack. Nice to meet y’all.”
“Rarity. Or would you like to call me Miss Rarity? Take your pick.”
The last pony was obviously Pinkie Pie who quickly ran off and ran back.
“I’m Pinkie Pie! Here have a complimentary cupcake!” She said handing them all a cupcake.
“Well then, I guess you probably already know my name, but if you don’t I’m engineer. Gosh it’s been so long since we’ve called each other by our real names, I’ve kind of forgot.”
“Spy, The Spy.”
Rarity’s gaze shifted towards Spy where it seemed to stay locked. Perhaps he was nothing like blueblood?
“Scout’s my name and I’m the fastest human in Equestria. I guarantee I’m Twenty-one percent cooler than all of you,” Scout announced mocking Rainbow, who didn’t seem very happy.
“I am the Soldier. The duty calls for a man to fight. And he will fight.”
“I’m Demoman. And now, you may be thinking, What makes me a good demoman If I were a bad demoman, I wouldn’t be sitting here would I?”
“I am Heavy Weapons guy. I crush cowards to pieces and anyone who dares to touch Sasha.”
“Who the hell is Sasha?”
“Sniper. And I’m here to tell you that Sniping Is a good job. It’s fun and relaxing.”
Fluttershy seemed to get freaked out over him. But maybe there was another side to it.
“I’m am Medic. You ever get hurt, and I can fix you up faster than any other doctor could. Guaranteed.”
The eight of them all stared at Pyro, having no idea how to reply. He made a couple of muffling noises that were hard to make out.
“Oh, hi Pyro!” Pinkie Pie shouted back. There was something about Pyro that made Pinkie reply to him and not really to the others. How she understood him, no one knows. Maybe it’s the same connection as Spike, but who really cares?
“Wait, so you can understand him?” Scout asked confused. Nope looks like Scout cares.
“I don’t think any of us really understood him properly,” Medic stated. And there’s another one.
“Is it really hard? He’s clearly saying his name and that he likes unicorns and rainbows!”
Pyro started muffling some words. Pinkie nodded in response and pulled out a flamethrower.
“And he said that this, is a Rainbow Machine!”
“Pinkie No!” Twilight called out but it was too late. Pinkie had begun spraying fire everywhere and occasionally prancing around. The others were swift enough to run and hide to get away from her.
“Pinkie! Stop!
“Really? Don’t you like Rainbows and bubbles?”
“Just stop!”
“Oh…” Pinkie said disappointed as she stopped using the flamethrower.
“That, was a flamethrower. And you almost burnt everyone!” Engineer pointed out.
“If it was a flamethrower it would’ve thrown out flames right? But it clearly created Rainbows and bubbles everywhere!”
“Just, no more.”
Pinkie Placed the flamethrower on the ground nearby.
“Well, I’ll say that it was nice to meet all of you. And it was nice meeting a new kind of creature like all of you.” AppleJack stated.
Rarity and Spy managed to stop staring at each other just in time as the Formal introduction was concluded.
